Got 37's, definitely looks much more proportionate with the bigger tires and I'm more comfortable with the amount of ground clearance I have now. I will post pics tomorrow. billmill57 what size spacer did you use? Any concerns with the added weight on the stock tailgate?

It was a 1 1/2 spacer, Its just temporary till mopar comes out with 2nd part of oversized tire carrier, I have the heavy duty hinges on now hopefully will hold up its kind of resting on edge of bumper now

It feels very nice don't notice difference in power or braking , at high speeds it seems to wander a little more

Agreed, slightly more body roll for me, otherwise the same as 35’s.

Have you flexed it at all? Wondering how much rubbing you have with the 2” and 37s.

Here’s mine with BFG 315/70/R17 installed. Having a helluva time finding a shop in houston who knows wtf they’re talking about to get lift installed. Any suggestions lemme know.

That. Looks. Awesome.

Looks awesome. Can’t wait to see a 2 door like this.

I am at a loss trying to figure out which aftermarket wheels will fit over the camera on the spare tire carrier. A Fuel representative basically told me theirs won't fit and since they haven't had a bunch of people asking, they don't seem too interested in confirming this or producing wheels that will fit. Does anyone know of any aftermarket wheels that will fit or wheel manufacturers who have identified which of their wheels will fit?

Switched to 37’s. Tire shop was nice enough to swap them out. Couldn’t be happier.

Called the dealer who told me they could flash the speedo for 35s to make an appointment. They now say they can't do it. First aftermarket company that makes a programmer gets my money!

I've seen a bunch of Fuel Wheels installed with the camera still in place. Ordering some fuel wheels from Rough Country who have them installed on their JL and will double check.

Have you noticed a difference in MPGs versus stock or 35s? How do they ride compared to stock and 35s?

very good, but not as crisp as stock of course. I will say that it drives significantly better than by JK lifted with 35’s.

I haven’t noticed a huge difference but it’s only been two days and maybe 60 miles.
